The dynamical surface of Phobos: a morphodynamic atlas
Isabel Herreros, Sébastien Charnoz
Phobos evolves in a highly dynamical environment where surface-material motion is controlled by the combined effects of self-gravity, time-dependent Martian tides, and inertial for…
Deuterated water and the formation of the satellites of Uranus
Michael E. Brown, Matthew Belyakov, Swaroop Chandra +5
The satellites of Uranus orbit in a low-eccentricity, equatorial plane that is tilted by 98 degrees relative to the solar system -- a geometry that mirrors Uranus's extreme axial t…
Tracking low-velocity ejecta from the DART impact on Dimorphos
Isabel Herreros, Sébastien Charnoz
The DART impact on Dimorphos produced a large population of low-velocity ejecta, likely containing most of the excavated mass, whose early fate remains poorly constrained. We inves…
The role of interior dynamics and differentiation on the surface and atmosphere of lava planets
Charles-Ãdouard Boukaré, Daphné Lemasquerier, Nicolas Cowan +5
Lava planets are rocky exoplanets that orbit so close to their host star that their day-side is hot enough to melt silicate rock. Their short orbital periods ensure that lava plane…
Understanding the formation of Saturn's regular moons in the context of giant planet moons formation scenarios
Michel Blanc, Aurélien Crida, Yuhito Shibaike +7
This article explores the different formation scenarios of the Kronian moons system in the context of a highly dissipative Saturn, with the objective of identifying the most likely…
